What is the role of competition in a command economy?

In a command economy, the role of competition is limited or non-existent. The government or central authority controls the allocation of resources, production decisions, and sets prices. There is no competition among producers or businesses as they do not have the freedom to make independent decisions or compete for market share. The focus is on meeting the goals and objectives set by the government rather than on competition and market forces.
